MEMORANDUM DECISION (Not For Official Publication) Case No. 20070348-CA F I L E D (June 28, 2007) 2007 UT App 231 ----Fourth District, Orem Department, 075200098 The Honorable John C. Backlund Attorneys: Thomas B. Ginter, South Jordan, Appellant Pro Se ----- Before Judges Greenwood, Davis, and McHugh. PER CURIAM: Defendant Thomas B. Ginter appeals his conviction and sentence for driving on a suspended license, a class C misdemeanor. See Utah Code Ann. § 53-3-227(1) (2006). Defendant argues that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to issue its sentence, judgment, and commitment. This matter is before the court on a sua sponte motion for summary disposition. We affirm. Defendant alleges in his docketing statement that the trial court lacked jurisdiction because: (1) it was not established by the United States or Utah constitutions; and (2) "there are no constitutionally qualified [judges] in the trial courts or in the appellate courts." These arguments are frivolous and without merit. See State v. Carter, 776 P.2d 886, 888 (Utah 1989) (stating that "this [c]ourt need not analyze and address in writing each and every argument, issue, or claim raised and properly before us on appeal"). Affirmed. ______________________________ Pamela T. Greenwood, Associate Presiding Judge ______________________________ James Z. Davis, Judge ______________________________ Carolyn B. McHugh, Judge
